Is your information safe?

Hack

Your passwords are most likely out on the Dark Web and you don’t even know it. Because of my identity theft protection I got an alert this morning telling me that my email password has been found out on the Dark Web. If you would like to start protecting your passwords and identity from hackers and criminals schedule a time to chat with me

Everyone thinks, why would someone want to steal my Identity because my credit is lousy or I have no money.

Cyber Criminals don’t care about how much money you have or how good your credit is. They will steal anyone’s ID and information. They hack into places that have lots of information like stores, hospitals and government databases. They don’t personally target you. They will steal the information and sell it on the black market to the highest bidder. This information is then used to create fake identities that are used to get medical care, submit fake tax returns, obtain credit, and lots of other things.

If you have a newer car with a wireless key fob device your car can easily be hacked. When most people get home they put their keys on counter and think their car is safe. Now crooks can use a simple amplifier device to make the car think the key fob is close enough and just like that your car is open with no sign of forced entry. In some cases they can even start your car and drive away.

Protecting your car is easy though, just purchase a faraday cage bag and put your keys in it when you are at home or at work. Faraday Cage bags block all signals from reaching the device in the bag, you can even put your cell phone in the Faraday Cage if you don’t want to be tracked. Please purchase your Faraday Cage bag using my Amazon link and support How To Protect Your Privacy web site.
